Portraiture c. 1890’s
I found this picture of an older gentleman taken during the 1890’s over on Virginia Tech’s image archive website. The person himself has no meaning to me, however I was just struck with “something” about this photograph. Full length portraiture is not as common nowadays. Our family has a similar looking image of my great-uncle as a young man. So stoic, quiet, peaceful and meditative. Maybe I’ll try to recreate something like this on my next portrait shoot.
